A Word for Mrs. Beecher.

The country has not forgotten, and
never can forget, how like a heroine
Mrs Beecher behaved during her hus+
bands supreme trouble, when that
great wave of scandal and passion roll>
ed over him in connections with the
Tiltons. Throughout the whole pro
longed and humiliating triol, every
body knows she was constantly present
in the court room, attentive but undis>
mayed, panied to the last point of en-
durance, but still erect, steadfast and
confident. 1t was not merely her hus>
bands reputation, we must remember,
but her own honor as well, and the
highest interest of her children, living
and dead, that were theatened with
disaster The tales to which she had to
listen were Of kind which few women
could have heard and yet stood firm and
self-reliant, as she did-a picture of a
wife and mother at her best, of woman
hood at its prOudest and Neblest. II
she had wavered for an instant, the
scales might have turned to the swift
and absolute ruin of the man for whom
her remarkable devotion pleaded with
such persistent and pathetic emphasis

Grains of Gold.
When sorrow is asleep, wake it not.

When sorrow is asleep, wake it not.
Do what you ought, come what will.
Arrogance Is the obstruction of wis
dom.
No thralls like them that inward bond
age have.
Good deeds ring clear through heaven
like d bell.
True friends appear less moved than
counterfeit.
To be pure in deed you must be pure
In thought.
1 had rather see my own faults than
other peoples.
1t is great point of wisdom to find
out ones own folly.
Sweet words of sympathy are as oil to
the wounded heart.
There is no condition of life that ex-
cludes a wise man from discbarging his
duty. If his fortune be good, he tenn
pers it; if bad, he masters it.
The large proportion of sins commit
ted against the laws of right are done
without reflection, and many of them
are bitterly repeDted of when too late.
Inexhaustible good nature is the most
precious gift of heaven, spreading itself
like oil over the troubled sea of thought,
and keeping the mind smooth and equa>
BILE in the roQghest weather.
Age is not to be feared: the older a
good and healthy person grows, the
greater becomes his capacity to enjoy
the deeper, sweeter and more noble kinds
of happiness which the world affords.

HINTS ABOUT WoRK.-As the snow
and ice disappear, much rubbish that has
collected during the winter will tie un-
covered. Those Of us who live In the
country are too careless about matters
affecting health. Foul surface water
frequently flows into the we'll, or dirty
water that has been thrown upon the
ground during winter will give of dan
gerOus vspors under the influence of the
suns warmth, causing disease to attack
old and young. To clean until all dan
ger is removed should be the first work
of spring. The cellar under the house
must not be overlooked in the cleaning.

A Proposed Stage Novelty.

SThere is one thing am in favor Of. J" said
: bald headed man in the Chicago Opera
house the other evening, "and that IS the
abolishment Of the drop curtain. What do
you think Of an innovation that would permit
the audience to witness the skill Of the scene
,hifters and stage settersi A person takes
more or less interest in watching the conStruc-
lion Of a fine building. Why wouldn't the
same thing hold good in a theatera 1t would
be- of great interest to most people to watch
she construction Of a mica cascade or the
rapid growth of trees and hills under the
magic touch of men in overalls. The con-
Erivances used in producing full moon would
also prove a source Of wonder to the specta-
tors To thoroughly admire the art Of stage
setting one must see the details. The pin
itself is no novelty; but the process by which
he metal Is stamped into pin cannot help
but be interesting. With good orchestra to
grind out music think the mechanical end
Of a show when exposed TO the audience would
prove highly entertaining. Chicago Herald

Great Interests That Were Neglected.

GreaC interests InaG were Ne&ieCLe0.
Three of the most urgent public de-
mands were grossly neglected by the
Forty-ninth Congress. These demands
were for the reduction of the surplus,
the creation of national defenses, and
the admission of Dakota to the Union.
The purpose of the Democratic majority
in the House was to allow the sur
plus to go on increasing in order
that it might be used as a lever
against the protective tariff. To that
end they refused to make suitable pro-
visions for coast defenses, the navy, and
ordnance construction, which would
would have absorbed part of the surplus,
in spite of threatening dangers and ap-
peals from the press and the people
without regard to party. But the gross
est exhibition of unftness for govern
ment was in refusing to admit Terri
tory of half million people to state
hood. to say nothing Of two other Ter
ritories entitled to admission. The re-
sponsibility for these shortcomings rests
entirely upon the House. The measures
introduced for carrying into effect the
popular desire in regard to these mat.
ters were not debated or even openly
considered in the House. All that the
House did was to suppress them when
forced upon their attention. This de-
liberate neglect of the most important
subjects on which legislation was me-
cessdry and expected satisfy the coun-
try of the hopelessn ss of securing wise
treatment of public affairs at the hands
of Democratic Congress. Cleveland

paid great attention to dress, though far
from being an unkempt or slOvenly
man.. He wore dark clothes usually and
black slouch hat habitually. He new
er could be brought to put on silk hat
or "claw hammer" coat, wearing
Prince Albert coat on formal occasions.
Even in the pulpit he substituted
turn down collar and black necktie for
the more conventional clerical "cbOker"
and white tie. He was, in fact, uncon>
ventional and Indifferent in most of the
smaller details of life.
